Elaine Park, a 20-year-old aspiring actress from La Crescenta, California, went missing on January 28, 2017, after leaving her ex-boyfriend Divine Compere’s home in Calabasas. Surveillance footage captured Elaine walking to her car at 6:05 a.m., though her boyfriend reported that she had woken up earlier, around 4:00 a.m., appearing to have a panic attack. Despite his attempts to calm her down, she left, and has not been seen since.
Five days later, on February 2, her 2015 Honda Civic was found abandoned along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. The car was unlocked, with the keys still in the ignition and personal items, including her phone, wallet, and laptop, left inside. Despite these clues, there has been no sign of Elaine herself. Investigators have pursued various leads, including tips about possible foul play, though none have led to significant breakthroughs. Her family remains convinced that foul play is involved, as it is unlikely that she would have run away voluntarily or taken her own life, despite struggling with bouts of depression.
Elaine's case has attracted widespread attention, including efforts from private investigators and a reward fund raised by her family, but the mystery of her disappearance continues. Law enforcement and her loved ones continue to appeal for any information that could provide answers.
